I don't see them doing it on iOS, but I do wish someone would create a plugin or hack for OS X that would allow it on my MacBook where it's more technologically possible. OS X apps can be resized to any size without problems so a hack would simply need to tell the fullscreen app to resize to a smaller area and somehow allow a second app to also resize to the other smaller area. Though I'd still also like to have certain apps float above the screen on all spaces like a PIP but it hasn't happened yet either.

Apple combined their mobile and desktop OSes years ago. Over 90%* of the two have been identical below the user interface and the AppKit/UIKit divide.
*made up, but it's a lot whatever it is.

iPad 3 display is better than retina and because of that not retina. Refrigerator redeemed.

Damn...percent of Retina'ness if off the charts!
"The iPad 3...the most Retina product in our offerings. Now with 23% more Retina than our previous iPads."
Please say this Tim. I want to see some haters explode and account suicide.
Fail ...
I just skooched my chair four inches further back from my 27 iMac.
RETINA IMAC, BITCHES! Instant Upgrade!

If they do multi-coloured iPads I will shit myself with excitement I swear to god.
Fail again.
100% more retina
Unless they unpair iOS releases from hardware releases. As the small screen version gets more mature they may want to shift release importance to the iPad rather than being tied to the iPhone's release cycle. It also gives another "event" to spread out through the year and attract attention rather than the long lull there was last year.
Paint splotches? Obviously pushing art apps, get ready for a stylus.Just an Apple logo.
Nothing creative. They've gone soft. Apple is doomed.
At 32" of distance, this iPad 2 screen looks fantastic.
Indeed, that was the minimum distance I could read off the old screen without feeling nauseous /smug asshole

That Apple Banner looks almost identical to the baner from last year except with a more vibrant color palette

haha so true. wow. Math fail on my part.
It's roughly 52" to the trash can in my office, which is where eink devices should go.
Engadget usually does a live picture blog, although the text usually gets updated faster then the pictures it's still as good as you can get. without a live videostream.

Nah the colours obviously relate to different textures, get ready for haptic.

They used the same paint theme for the original iPad reveal, so perhaps it's a nod to this being as significant a reveal as the original iPad.

Can we have a side bet on how many slides Tim does on how much they are out selling everyone?

That's going to be the whole event. They're not even going to introduce a new iPad.
Damn it, price structure stays the same. I really wanted to see some tears.

Typical Apple, doing the same thing over and over, every iteration.
If it were up to me, I'd turn off the ability to run iPhone apps at all. Force developers to do it right.
They could atleast lower the prices, but that'd be too sensible and consumer friendly.
I hope not. There are still tons of games releases that aren't optimized for iPad. A lot of small time devs cant afford to make two versions.
Meanwhile, Samsung and Motorola put out tablets at 599 on contract.

Why would that in any way be sensible
Agreed. Even though they sell every unit they make, it'd be much more sensible to lower their revenues.

So I've been an Apple fan for 20 years and this will be my first day 1 purchase.
Uh....what the hell do I do? Is it gonna be impossible to find on day 1 (whenever day 1 is), am I gonna have to be one of those crazy people who skip work to wait on line for one, or is there a way to pre-order it like us on the gaming side do with games?

There will be shortages for sure, there always are. You don't lower the price of something when there are shortages. Shortages are a quick and dirty way of knowing Demand > Supply, which in capitalism is a primary method of determining what the price of something should be.

A 2048x1536 iPad sub $499? Damn, some of you are utterly unrealistic, irrational, and entitled. No other company will be able to match this pricepoint with this kind of display for a long time, mark my words. Also, this will probably be completely sold out for the 1st few weeks if not more.
Haha. Don't worry. The iPad 2 will get reduced for the poor masses.
The iPad is about to receive some very stiff competition between Windows 8 and low price Android tabs.
You know what'd be a good way to ensure continued dominance over your competitors? Lowering the price of your product to be more competitive.
I'm positive they'll still be making record-breaking profits all the whilst ensuring market dominance and improved customer satisfaction.
I swear some of you guys still behave like Apple is the underdog barely making enough to get by.

Lowering prices when demand out strips supply? Nope.gif
They don't need to lower the price to be competitive. Their competition does, and has failed to do so. That's the point.
Yep, and ASUS is about to release a $250 1280x800 Tegra 3 tab; I'm gonna feel sick when I hand over my cash to that Apple store employee knowing I could just wait a bit and get that beast.

I don't see why Apple would need to lower prices right now. The Kindle Fire hasn't done much to the iPads marketshare and I can't see other low price android tablets doing much better in the near future. On top of that, it would seem strange to lower prices before a single Windows 8 tablet has even been released.
The 16GB Infinity will be $599.
